What is claimed is: 
     
       1. A break barrel rifle comprising a butt, on which a cylinder ( 2 ) is attached, a barrel ( 3 ), where a pellet chamber ( 5 ) is located, a pellet ( 13 ) magazine ( 12 ), together with articulation means ( 4 ) and a pellet loading system, characterised in that it comprises:
 an elastic rod ( 6 ), with a central section ( 9 ) and two ends ( 7 ,  8 ), said ends ( 7 ,  8 ) are coupled to said cylinder ( 2 ), 
 a body ( 10 ) for housing said magazine ( 12 ) and pivotally attached to said barrel ( 3 ), where the central section ( 9 ) of the elastic rod ( 6 ) is positioned to enable forward and backward movement of the elastic rod ( 6 ) inside said body ( 10 )and 
 pushing means ( 11 ) coupled to the elastic rod ( 6 ) and positioned between the pellet ( 13 ) to be loaded and the elastic rod ( 6 ), 
 the pushing means ( 11 ) moving to one of the pellets ( 13 ) in the magazine( 12 ) at the moment when said barrel ( 3 ) is broken, thus the pushing means leaves a pellet ( 13 ) inside the pellet chamber ( 5 ) and then said pushing means ( 11 ) returns to its initial position when the barrel ( 3 ) is closed, thus leaving the rifle loaded. 
 
     
     
       2. A break barrel rifle in accordance with  claim 1  characterised in that the pushing means ( 11 ) is coupled to the central section ( 9 ) of the elastic rod ( 6 ). 
     
     
       3. A break barrel rifle in accordance with  claim 1  characterised in that the elastic rod ( 6 ) adopts an “L” shape. 
     
     
       4. A break barrel rifle in accordance with any of the previous claims characterised in that the magazine ( 12 ) of the pellets ( 13 ) is automatic and when pushing means ( 11 ) returns to the initial position at the moment when barrel ( 3 ) closes, leaving the rifle loaded, the magazine ( 12 ) supplies a new pellet ( 13 ) ready to be pushed by the pushing means ( 11 ). 
     
     
       5. A break barrel rifle in accordance with  claim 1  characterised in that the body ( 10 ) comprises elongated apertures ( 16 ), in which the pin ( 14 ) slides and on which the body ( 10 ) articulates at the moment of cocking and closing the barrel ( 3 ).
